anyone know why honda didn't give it a better steering ratio?
and also no DBW.
and also lighter weight.
but also 5 gears transmission and 20bhp less powerfull engine.
i fancy one a lot - but having looked at the clutch and brake parts costs i think it's too expensive for me....
i can call this interior anything but not "dated":

JDM type R final drive fixs all the problems. Mine is a first gen with the 02 conversion
It's a very special car.
I love my S2000 but if I had to choose between the 2 it would be the nsx for sure.

That interior is beautiful.
And you seriously care about whether the steering wheel has "Acura" or just the logo "A" debossed?

I'm the only one, but I don't think the NSX is that great. It just doesn't seem that special to me. Never wanted one. I prefer the S2000 over the NSX. I would much rather have a F355, over the NSX. Much more exotic.

You're not the only one. It's just the people with common sense are a lot less vocal.

Anyway, Happy Thanksgiving to all the U.S. people on here.

I'm not a big NSX fan by any means, but it looks better than a 355 to me and I'd rather live with the NSX day-to-day as well. I remember playing Gran Turismo (1) in 97 and seeing the NSX. This was when I knew basically nothing about cars, and I knew it was something special immediately. I thought of it as a supercar right up there with the Ferraris and Porsches even though I had hardly even heard of Acura and definitely not that particular car. I preferred driving it in the game over just about everything else I tried as well.
The S2000 is still the better buy of all of them though

I enjoy watching Best Motoring's NSX-R footage, like when the car keeps up or passes exotics with twice the power. It's like when you pass V8s or other expensive cars at the track in the S2000. Makes you giggle a little bit.
Let's not forget it was designed and built with the Japanese horsepower limit of 276. I think it is an amazing machine given the limit in power.
